Claire Elyn Ten Clay joined us on Thursday, December 22, 2016, at 3:14 pm.
She was 8 pounds, 8 ounces, and 21 inches long!
I went to my 40 week appointment on December 21, and Dr. Greene gave me the option of choosing if and when I would want to be induced. We decided to go for the next day in hopes that we would be home for Christmas. We were so happy to be able to deliver Claire in Rock Valley instead of in Sioux Falls like we had to with Lydia.
On Thursday morning, we dropped Lydia off at Grandpa & Grandma Moss', Mommy shed some tears over Lydia not being the "baby" anymore, and off we went to the hospital in Rock Valley. I was hooked up and had Pitocin started. Around noon, Dr. Greene came and broke my water, and I had an epidural around 1:30. Right before 3:00, the nurses made a quick call to the clinic to tell Dr. Greene to hurry over. After about 10 minutes of pushing, our baby girl was here!
Lydia came to meet her baby sister a few hours later and thought she was great!
All the grandpas and grandmas think Claire's pretty great, too!
We headed home on Christmas Eve morning, and our lives have never been the same since!
